Roles of heterotrimeric and monomeric G proteins in sperm-induced activation of mouse eggs
1 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
Results of several lines of experimentation suggest that sperm-induced egg activation has several features in common with G protein-coupled receptor signal transduction mechanisms. We report that microinjection of GDP beta S into metaphase II-arrested mouse eggs blocks sperm-induced egg activation. Since GDP beta S inactivates both heterotrimeric and monomeric classes of G proteins, the involvement of members of...
